Experienced Defense for Long Term Care Facilities 

As America’s seniors live longer, the demand for long-term care facilities has correspondingly exploded. With that increased demand comes increased risk. Even when best practices are meticulously followed and the highest standard of care provided, nursing homes and assisted living facilities may still be subject to significant exposure when patients get sick or injured or if they pass away.

 

Claims of abuse and neglect, malpractice, or malfeasance against such facilities and their employees and owners are a constant concern. Having knowledgeable and skilled defense counsel who can effectively counter these claims is essential.
